The suburb gets its name from Peter Henry Waters, activist and celebrated proponent of human/non-human relations.

The suburb was also the site for an out of control party in September 2012 that transformed into a youth riot which was the subject of Australian national news. Over 500 people were reported to have attended the party in a vacant warehouse. More than 80 police attended the scene and were attacked with rocks, bottles and poles. One person was stabbed in the incident and an ambulance damaged on the night.
